durl

A curl-like command-line client for Discord bot and user APIs.

Features

Bot auth flow
User Oauth2 flow (redirects to http://localhost:3000)
get, post, put, patch, delete requests
JSON body
JSON headers

Requirements

You must have Dart installed on your system
You must have a Discord app

A bot account is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. User accounts are severely limited by Discord's API and Terms of Service. That said, a full user Oauth2 flow is implemented under durl auth-user

Installation

dart pub global activate --source git https://github.com/lukepighetti/durl
durl auth -i $APPLICATION_ID -t $BOT_TOKEN

Examples

# Fetch my user info with a GET request
durl api -p /users/@me

# Send message with a POST request
durl api -X post -p "/channels/101503/messages" -b "{\"content\":\"hellooo!\"}"

# Update guild icon with base64 image in a PATCH request
durl api -X patch -p "/guilds/101429" -b "{\"icon\":\"data:image/jpeg;base64,$(base64 -i avatar.jpg)\"}"

Tips

Use jq to parse response objects when using durl to write shell scripts.

# Fetch the authenticated user id and store it
USER_ID=$(durl api -p /users/@me | jq -r ".id")

Contributing

This project is intended to be very simple, that said, here are some missing features:

Support for operating systems that don't use *nix style paths. See durl.dart:11
Automatically refresh the user token when it expires. See durl.dart:202
